Reboot II is the twelfth studio album by American country music duo Brooks & Dunn. It is a follow-up to their 2019 album Reboot , featuring re-recordings of Brooks & Dunn's hit singles with guest vocals from other artists.

History

In 2019, Brooks & Dunn released Reboot , which featured them re-recording existing songs of theirs with guest vocals from country music singers. Reboot II also comprises re-recordings, but unlike its predecessor, it features musicians from outside the country music genre. Among these are the Earls of Leicester on a bluegrass rendition of "How Long Gone", and rock band Halestorm on "Boot Scootin' Boogie". Dann Huff produced the album, with assistance from Joey Moi, Kristian Bush, and Jerry Douglas on some tracks.^[1] According to the duo, each collaborative artist was allowed creative input on which song they covered. The album precedes the duo's Neon Moon Tour, to begin in 2025.^[2]

It also features one song from 1994's Waitin' on Sundown and one song from 1996's Borderline, both of which did not make it to the first compilation. Three new recorded tracks — "That's What It's All About", "It's Getting Better All The Time", and "Independent Trucker" — are also included on this compilation.
